Skin infections and skin diseases
Fungal infections, itching, rashes and scaly patches are rising with pollution, humidity and sweating. Using steroid creams from a pharmacy without a diagnosis can make many of them worse and harder to treat.
Why diagnosis matters
Different skin conditions can look alike. Ringworm, eczema and psoriasis, for example, need very different treatment. A dermatologist examines the skin, and if needed advises tests, so the right medicine is used for the right length of time.

Frequently asked questions
Are fungal infections contagious?
Many are. Avoid sharing towels and clothes, and complete the full course of treatment even after the rash fades.
Can I use an over-the-counter cream?
Please avoid combination steroid creams without advice. They can hide an infection and make it recur in a more stubborn form.
Is psoriasis curable?
Psoriasis is a long-term condition that can usually be controlled well with treatment. Your doctor will explain the plan.
